President Obama has had a difficult time with the midterm election results. I don't much blame him for having difficulty. The Sister Sarah Cult voters and the Fox-crack addicted voters all marched to the polls clueless, disinformed and brainwashed....but in perfect timing with King Rushbo's racist and hate-filled drumbeating. The outcome, for reality-based Americans, has definitely been hard to accept.

Barack Obama has spent his first two years as president being very mean towards the business class. He's anti-business, I'm told. Bad for business. Bad for the economy. Obama's policies, I'm told over and over again, are bad, bad, bad...I'm talking seriously bad for those who make our economy go.....the business class.

They're everywhere. Socialists, that is. They are behind every tree and shrub. They're under our beds....no, wait,..that's the Islamics. Anyway, those socialists are everywhere....and wouldn't ya' know it?....those socialists tried to destroy the fabric of America before there was any American fabric to destroy.

Ever notice how news about God often comes in a series? Kind of like HBO. You know, you won't hear anything about God for awhile, and then all of a sudden, he makes his presence known in several rapid fire earthly stories. Seems odd...but then we're talkin' about God here, not your regular Joe. His ways are not our ways and our ways are not.......

Let's start with the video TPM has up of House Representative, John Shimkus, (R-IL). Shimkus is seeking the chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which deals with climate policy, global warming....among other issues.

The Catfood Commission has been a farce from the very beginning. Officially put together under a President Obama order because Congress couldn't agree on forming a Commission, the so-called Deficit Commission is jam-packed with deficit hawks and supply siders.

The jury decision to convict one of the accomplices of the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing in Africa, Ahmed Ghailani, on one count of conspiracy to blow up U.S. government buildings has created another round of insanity to break out amongst the usual-suspect conservative fringers.

The trial was held in New York federal court because America is not run by some military junta, but rather by a rule of law. A fact that even the sorry-ass Bush-Cheney administration occasionally recognized as seen in the 20th hijacker and Richard Reid's (shoebomber) trials being held in federal civilain courts.

Coming to grips with reality is sometimes a challenge. For the past couple of years, I have been coming to grips with the reality of my own personal aging.....and I don't like it. But in facing the challenge of aging, I don't blame myself for the actual aging process. I have nothing to do with the aging process.....the aging process existed long before I was born....and the aging process will exist long after I'm gone.

In a manner of speaking, the same is true for political partisanship. Political partisanship has always existed....and it will always continue to exist....no matter who is elected president, no matter who controls Congress. Anyone who has been paying attention for the past 20 years knows that partisanship, mostly bitter, is the new normal....and will continue to be so.

It was just so great to hear from the fallen Oracle, Alan Greenspan, yesterday. Uncle Al. It's always a pleasure to hear the latest wisdom from the greatest economic psycho-babble specialist in modern times.

A lot of ones and zeroes have given up their virtual lives in the myriad commentaries seeking to explain the Republican landslide in the midterm elections. We've been told that the election was a rejection of Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Democrats, the stimulus, health care reform, imagined socialism, cap and trade, too much debt, too much spending, anger, taxes.....or any cafeteria combo-platter taken from that list.

I don't question that Republican voters actually believe in one or more of those "reasons" from that list. Human beings "believe" a lot of things. For example, there's a short piece in today's Akron Beacon Journal entitled, "Catholic Bishops say more exorcists needed." Obviously, some 21st century humans still believe that invisible demons and/or devils actually exist....and every once in awhile....these invisible beings take over a person's brain activity.

Lauer: It took two wars, it took thousands of lives, American lives, billions of dollars,...you could say it took Guantanomo, and Abu Ghraib, and government eavesdropping and waterboarding. Did it take too much?

There is a significant injustice going on out in Nebraska. One that needs everyone's attention. That's how egregious the injustice is. If injustices like the one currently being carried out in Lincoln, Nebraska are allowed to continue, then no American male will ever be safe....ever again.

A 22 year old man from Lincoln was suspicious that his girlfriend was spending time with someone else behind his back. The 22 year old, Trevor Case, acted on those suspicions this past Saturday. Here's what the girlfriend told police.....

I would venture to say that if President Obama is convicted in an impeachment trial before a majority GOP senate in 2015, convicted of being president while being a Democrat,....he will offer an olive branch of bipartisanship to his Republican convictors as he's being led away by the bailiffs.

Conservatives insist that they are the Americans who have "common sense." Many times during this year's midterm election campaigns, I've heard a former 1/2 term governor tell her adoring fans how they could help send "common sense conservatives" to Congress. Common sense conservatives who would bring their "common sense solutions" with them to D.C.

Yesterday, those common sense conservatives turned out in big numbers at the polls and turned a 256-179 Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, where all national laws begin, into a Republican majority of 239-183. Quite a reversal......but that's how common sense works....I guess.

Just as the rotted, stinking corpse of corporate media disinformed and propagandized Americans into supporting the international crime of Iraq, stenographically repeating the Dick's lies....so too, the disgusting corpse of corporate media has disinformed and propagandized Americans about the old-but-new extremist right, who identify themselves today as the never-before-seen, "grassroots" Tea Party.

When this repellant media "reports" tonight on the midterm results, listen for how often the Tea Party is lifted up as the new way forward....or some such drivel. Watch and listen carefully to Veteran Media Assh*les....the Fluffster and Wolfie come to mind.....who will undoubtedly attempt to mainstream the extreme.
